How do you like your oatmeal?
Soft
I simply make it using oats and oat milk and I put nothing else into it. (I used to put regular milk into it until I found out I was intolerant to it)
in a bowl
Mashed
Me to, black berries and raspberries yum
I'd like to see a study showing how undercooked oats can cause problems for people. Whilst I'm not saying it doesn't or can't happen, it sounds a bit exaggerated to me. Hundreds of millions of people eat Raw Muesli every day with no issues. The key ingredient for that is raw oats...
I thought that was exaggerated too. Just finished watching another video about a processing plant for oats that showed they are partially cooked while rolled, thru steam.
Rolled para are actually partially cooked - they get steamed and toasted at the factory.
In my late 40s oats started to give me the squirts. After 10 years without, I missed them, and thought that maybe it's just the instant oats that do that to me. So I got the old kind, added more H2O and cooked them longer than the directions said. Now I have no problem. I really like the ease of just soaking them in the fridge overnight. I don't even bother to cook them anymore.
most of the time I eat oatmeal uncooked, never a problem
There are a few studies, but yes, everyone is different. It's also a matter of degree. I could probably tolerate a bowl of muesli a day, no problem. But if I eat 2 or 3 bowls (not unheard of) I'll get gassy. Some people just cannot tolerate it, period.
Cook and eat your oatmeal however you like! Or don't eat it at all! This video gave me a panic attack..... For the love of God, it's just oatmeal! 😭
If you got a panic attack from simply watching a video, you need to see a doctor, you have worse problems going on than oatmeal.
Yes
@@rhynianzhahandi6160 I have seen a doctor 🤪
@@cristinahorning8483 did he give you some Valium for your oatmeal?
@@pigbenis2812 no, a lobotomy 😉
My family are scottish..we have been raised in oatmeal for many generations..some of the oldies prefer to make it with salt & water..I’ve made mine with only milk for over 20 years..this is the way I like it..this is the way I will continue to do it..I couldn’t give a toss what so called experts or chefs say !
My grandma was Scottish and she always used salt water. I never related the two.
approved!
I mash my banana first, then add cold water(a must) then combine them, then the oats goes in and I cook it on low with a pinch of salt and cinnamon. Smells and tastes divine. No milk needed! It's creamy and perfect for me
dude, I'm gonna try this
THIS WAS AMAZING!
I love oatmeal. It’s so filling and delicious. Perfect for a winter morning ❤️
It is best eaten at night due to it containing melatonin and tryptophan. It makes you tired, so try eating it at night.
@@tonguepetals it’s best when ever u feel comfortable 2 eat it 🤫
I add 1 Teaspoon of honey to my water when I’m bringing it to a boil. Then add my oatmeal and add fruit & walnut topping when done cooking. Love it.
No problems cooking with a milk and water mixture. It's gooey and sweet. Without milk the grains stay separate, and butter doesn't help. Just boil until the desired softness. I don't like adding milk late because it is cold or takes extra effort to heat up. Turn down the heat or the milk & starch foam will boil over before anything burns.
Don't give a proportion with a quarter cup. You can't cook that tiny amount. Rolled oats have low density. I like the ratio of 1:2.5 with milk.
I use water, creamer, butter, cinnamon and splenda..
😋
Comfort food anytime!! 💕
I prefer steel cut oats which I cook and prepare then portion ahead of time. Usually I portion 6 containers and refrigerate and then I heat up in a bowl with soy milk in the microwave for 2 mins. Topped off with cinnamon raisins or blueberries any fruits will work..eat and enjoy!! This is so fast and the oatmeal stays well in the fridge as the oats soak up the moisture and become perfect. This saves so much time to enjoy anytime of the day a great food source. 👍
When I discovered overnight oats, I stopped cooking oats altogether.
Best food ever, and convenient for those waking up at 5am
Yeah those are way too watery/lumpy for me. Good that it works for you though.
I never screwed up oatmeal it's easy to cook. Farina/Cream Of Wheat is a lot easier to mess up. I like my oatmeal with a little butter, maple syrup, a splash of milk, and raisins.
This video is one of many that seem to want to make any food preparation overly complicated. Breakfast shouldn't be so complicated.
Love my oatmeal "overcooked", sticking to it :)
There's no mistakes if you like the way it tastes.. 🤷🏻
I like using French Vanilla creamer and cinnamon.
That sounds cool. Gonna try it...
Didn't know you could mess up oatmeal in multiple different ways
Every time I make oatmeal it’s always different and I always mess up 25% of the time somehow.I mess up somehow even a little bit .
Measuring helps
I use milk because I want oatmeal not chalk.
Thanks!!
The thing I always find odd about videos about oatmeal is that they usually show rolled oats not oatmeal. Rolled oats or porridge oats are the flattened oats, oatmeal are the small hard pieces of oats that are cruncy/nutty textured when raw, rather than rolled/porridge oats which are softer/chewier when raw.
You mean steel cut oats?
@@baileybunch9999 exactly yes steel cut oatmeal or pin head oatmeal. Whereas what they are showing is rolled oats or porridge oats :)
@@iangrant3615 it’s still oatmeal, just different forms. I’m sure in your case it all just comes down to how people refer to/what people call things differently around different parts of the country/world.
What they are showing is steel cut oats with another process at the factory. The rolled oats are steamed at the factory too, where steel cut are the oat cut into smaller pieces and that's it. They're what I prefer because they digest slower and you don't get a carb spike from them.
I microwave mine with a half cup of water then when it's done I add half a cup of milk, a tsp of cinnamon sugar, and a cut up banana. It's delicious...people can eat oatmeal however the hell they want to, it's just oats!
cay cool thanks. I love oats and spent some time perfecting my personal recipe for Dank Oats as I call it.
The trouble is that my house mates also love oats but I'm having a hard time getting them to understand that you can't just throw milk over it and eat it immediately. I like to let my oats soak up soy milk for at least 2 hours if I'm eating it cold, or cook it for 15 minutes for a hot dish.
When making it warm I start with the salt and stirring, because the salt helps to draw the starch out and get the first creamy undertones. Then I add my cinnamon and apples + chia seeds.
As those cook in I'll add peanut butter and a dash of milk. Once that's stirred in it should be good, unless some more water is needed.
I like to start with less water than needed and top it up as I go along until the texture is just right.
Happy Days my dear oatmeal lovers!
Cheers, Uie.
Am I the only one that the word CREAMY just isn't appeal to him ? I just mix the soft oats with milk , put in micro for 30 sec, mix, add topping , mix. Delicious for 10 years.
And which is better rolled or steel cut - and why? Thank you. 🙏
I put peanut butter and honey in my oatmeal
I love honey in my oatmeal......but never tried peanut butter. Thanks for the idea! 👍
I’m so trying the peanut butter. Thanks.
My son loves to add peanut butter, honey and fruit to his oatmeal.
I do that a lot too.
Great video, Thanks for the information! I will avoid these mistakes while i cook my favorite true elements whole oats
Excelente oportunidad para poder disfrutar de un buen almuerzo para disfrutar de un buen desayuno para disfrutar de un buen día
Thank you for the helpful tips. Saved my oatmeal from being caked
Mash a banana, add vanilla ice cream, raw oatmeal, a splash of a milk of choice, and a TINY little drizzle of agave/maple syrup/ or honey. AMAZING
I will definitely try it
@@rubyjane8116 idk why but the uncooked oatmeal is just super tasty to me as an ice cream topping 😍
I love it with half a banana cut in there. Sticky and yummy!
I make mine with water and put strawberry compote, banana coins and chia seeds with almond butter on top!
Going to start soaking my oats!
Best oatmeal I ever had came from England, in a box with the British flag all over it, can't remember the name. Was on a clearance shelf in local Kroger. Big rolled flakes and extra tasty like they were pretoasted maybe. We put them in saucepan with half cold water half cold milk and handful of dried cherries and salt. Cooked pretty slow for 8 or 10 min. Wish I could find them again.
Wonder if you could toast rolled oats in a pan then add hot water/milk to finish cooking them.
Could be Scott's Porridge Oats (from Scotland).
In the UK, they are the major brand, followed by "Quaker Oats" (American).
I don't recall seeing a brand with a Union Flag (Gt Britain) or a Cross of St George (England) flag on the packet (but I could be wrong).
Try rolled oat soak overnight with plain yogurt (sugar free)/choice flavour powder cinnamon or black sesame powder or turmeric powder/ chia seeds and walnuts or pecan nuts...keep in small container
man i'm eating oatmeal rn and it's so freaking good
Mix equal parts of steel cut and rolled oats. Soak overnight, rinse and cook with boiling water a little milk and some salt.I love to stir in plain Greek yogurt ,sprinkle with cinnamon and drizzle with honey. Add any fruit you have.
I cook mine with just water, and I scrape the stuff that sticks to the pan, that's my favorite part actually, so chewy. After putting it in a bowl, I stir in some milk into it until the texture becomes almost fluffy, (I find not stirring milk in after its cooked makes the texture inedible) then I add a splash of milk on top, cut up half a banana and get a tsp of peanut butter. (I use steel cut oats which I then powderise, and I soak them overnight with hot water and apple cider vinegar at room temperature)
How long leas it take to get cooked ?
@@Urmo517 if you soak it, it doesn't take much time maybe 5 minutes, 8 tops
I make my oatmeal hispanic style with milk, sugar, cinnamon stick, a few cloves, and a dash of vanilla, I just don’t understand people who cook it with just water ewww
I cook it the same way!
Yum!
Hello from India!
@@pragawa hello! From New York 👋
Me too!
i hear you im the same way.
People who cook it with just water maybe on a diet and don't want any adds on
I pressure cook my steel cut oatmeal with a bit of salt and water and make them al dante. The boil it with a little bit more water, add peas chillies roasted cumin and coriander powder, pepper and take it off the pot. Then garnish it with a bit of chilli oil and some times soya sauce. It turns out yum. 😜
If the oatmeal gets stuck to the bottom you can remove from heat and put the lid on for ten minutes this seems to let it unstick from the bottom.
Also putting a little oil in the pan before cooking really helps.
To stop with breads (wholemeal, rye,...) I opted for peanuts and oatmeal (quaker, every day and maximum twice a day, since I have to fight against a terrible ease in losing weight) but I have two problems: I need to reduce sugar and I need to avoid milk as much as possible (my body doesn't like it anymore). But taking oatmeal without milk and with little sugar is really hard to bear because of a feeling that I cannot describe. So I had the idea of adding a little salt (maximum half a teaspoon) during cooking and it works much better; it is totally bearable. Except that while reading I learn that the mixture of salt and sugar should be avoided for health reasons. So I'm stuck. I'm looking for what I can put in place of salt to have a bearable Quaker. I'm planning to try baking soda instead of salt but I don't know if that too isn't recommended. If anyone has any good advice, it would be really nice to share it with me. By the way, thank you for this share.
I have type 2 diabetes and eat steel cut with canned pumpkin. You get some sugar from the pumpkin but also add moisture. I make a batch and weigh it out to 6 ounces, which is a half portion and usually eat a boiled egg with it to up my protein.
@@samuelhowie4543 Thank you for your response, but that will be bad for my meager financial means.
12 teaspoons organic oat flakes (45-50 grams), 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder, a pinch or fleur de sel (ανθό αλατιού από το Μεσολόγγι) and a teaspoon of peanut butter OR the same amount of oats with half teaspoon Ceylon cinnamon (because it's low in coumarin) a pinch of fleur de sel (flower sea salt) and a pinch of nutmeg. I stir with the added boiling water and let it sit for 20 or 30 minutes (cause it's summer now) and ENJOY 😋
I like my oatmeal lumpy, made with milk, butter, cinnamon, and sugar. If I’m feeling fancy I also add raisins and walnuts or pecans.
Oooooo, never tried butter
I like Sally Fallons nourishing traditions oats. She places oats with warm water and 2 tablespoons kefir or yogurt on the stove overnight, lets if ferment a bit. Then the next day you cook it. It is easier to digest.
True
I like the pre-sweetened, i know the plain with added fruit would be better. if i boil water and cover it, i does puff up better. the overnight soak sounds like the way to go...
black berries, blue berries, strawberries are great. Bananas can make oatmeal taste great. nuts are good
My entire family has overcooked oatmeal more times than I can count.
Overnight oats. Perfect :D
I love my oatmeal chewy, with salt and butter - so the Scottish way. Oh, actually I do sometimes soak mine overnight. It does cook nicely. But I prefer it as a savoury dish hence salt and butter. Can add cheese etc .
I love that you like tell people what the dangers are so then they don’t do it
No water…I use coconut milk and it comes out perfect. Plan to use almond milk next 🤔 The instant for me is the way to go so I don’t add too much oats, milk or sugar. 🙌🏾 I’ll add butter and cinnamon if the mood strikes but imma simple guy. It’s not broke for me so there’s no need to fix it. Respect for those who have the time to overnight oats every week 🙏🏾💯👌🏾
That's exactly how I eat my oatmeal 👍😄🙌
I need help. I use regular quaker oats, but its always under cooked. I follow directions but its bad. Theres good suggestions here. But does anyone have good tips for creamy texture, no bite. Ty
When I make oatmeal I put 2 glasses and a half of water/milk, 19 tbs of rolled oats, half of a cinnamon stick (or put cinnamon powder), 2 and a 1/2 tbs sugar and 2 and a 1/2 tbs of milk powder (that is if I’m not using milk). 😃 I put it on medium high flame but you can lower it.
The trick is to cook while stirring occasionally and once the liquid is observed it should be ready to be served. 😄 I like mine on the thick side if I’m having it with tea so add a bit more water or milk to yours if you wish. 🥰 (I took a vid weeks ago I might post it today if you’re interested check it out to get an idea (it doesn’t show cooking process tho cuz it’s a TikTok 😂)
Hope this helped you! ❤️😄
Am I the only one who like it uncooked, with banana and milk only?
No, but my ma used to give us that as kids, however I prefer savoury.
One question: oats into the water at the outset and cooked makes it creamier, I’ve found, while bringing water to the boil first and then adding in the oats makes it less creamy but still good. I just noticed my Mom putting the oats in right away. Thoughts?
This is true. Putting oats in cold water then heating makes it so creamy.
How about 3 in 1 instant Oats ?Need to soak it ?Thanks
Take whole organic oats, put in ultra low fat milk, put in airtight container in fridge over night- add fruit in morning and eat cold.. it takes 4 hours to soak so can do in morning and take to work and eat at lunchtime
I love gummy starchy oatmeal!
I made overnight oats for the first time? I made it with milk, yogurt, diced apples, cranberries, a smidge of brown sugar and a smidge of pecans. It was so good!
I'll never waste the time or energy to cook them again.
Is it good without cook ?
I love this channel
I’m only watch this because I really love oatmeal… even if I mess it up.
To each his own.
Since I started eating oatmeal I poop 💩 everyday 😂😂😂😂😂 I no longer suffer constipation .. I feel great 😊
Don’t use any sugar
I eat from the bag with water and banana and kiwi bluebery and crunchy
I like oatmeal with salt and bacon grease.
In Danmark raw oats with milk is the most commen breakfast.
And we dont have more gas so under cooked oats is just fine.
I eat them raw without anything
lol like a horse
Me too
Toast them in a dry pan first for a few seconds add boiled water then turn it down to 1
and keep stirring
put a lid on it with the cooker turned off
i remember when i was sick as a young kid, imy mom would always make me a bowl of oatmeal and i would absolutely hate it. she would add in so much milk to the point where the oats were all soggy and disgusting to chew. Now as a teenager, i want to gag whenever i see oatmeal. Even if it smells and looks good, my mind just thinks back to the oatmeal my mom would make.
Ah yes, undercooked oats…so bad for you!
That’s why Müsli is eaten daily without any issues…
Top notch quality video!
It is not hard to cook oatmeal. Follow the directions on the Quaker Oats container and it comes out yummy every time. I add flaxseed, blueberries and bananas. Cook with milk and after everything is combined I heat up another cup of milk in the microwave to add to keep it hot! It is delicious!🙂👍
Bought fresh strawberries to add tomorrow!🤣
Evaporated milk helps to.
Omg yes!
oatmeal is my fav food
What mistake i add oat into coffee
Water, table spoon of salted butter, Milk, table spoon of organic almond butter , chia seeds & honey .
How I eat my (Scottish) oatmeal .
Giiirl you crazy yo
I don't soak them-
All I do is put the oatmeal (I get mine from trader Joe's) in the bowl and put in A BIT of water so that it isn't turning into an oatmeal soup to me basically
But enough so that all of it is wet and not completely dry 😅
Do you buy raw oats for oatmeal. There are prepared oats for oatmeal no soaking no long cooking.
Come on it’s Oatmeal, aahhh
Oatmeal & toast “ no toast no oatmeal”
Since I am diabetic with high cholesterol:
I use Instant oatmeal sugar free : in my job I use microwave for 3 minutes, Home similar I use gas not microwave..
I use cream Almondmilk of zero sugar , zero cholesterol has 50% cacium.
Before I used cream made from soybeans zero sugar,
Zero sugar ....
I use products with zero sugar or very few...
I like my oats raw with oat milk. I eat this daily and my cholesterol and skin could not be better!
oats + water + 30 seconds in the microwave + 1/3 of a banana, done.
For me using milk add no value what-so-ever, then again I like the taste of oats. I did add peanut butter once, not sure about that one, but a good idea if you need the extra protein.
I have been trying oatmeal for a week now, as it is easy meal and can mixed up with your favourite fruits, but in my experience I realized that oatmeal dose actually gives you belly fat which is very annoying and it is hard to get rid of belly fat.
Any suggestions welcome...!
Oatmeal doesn’t give you belly fat, excess calories do.
If your eating healthy with this or working out at all this shouldn’t be happening unless your putting lots of sugar in it which is really easy to do without noticing it like milk sugar butter fruits or any extra forms of calories or sugars even if their healthier natural sugars or could be causing bad bloating esp with certain people wheat can not be the best or cause leaky gut …. But ya any food if your eating too many calories can cause excess fat oats alone should not be causing any extra fat unless your body has an intolerance to something in them
Cardamon instead of cinnamon every day is a tasty alternative.
I've never eaten oatmeals in my life. Is it delicious? Or do people eat it for health?
Taste great with peanut butter and honey
Bob's Red Mill are the best. Takes 20 minutes to make so I triple the batch and microwave the next two days. Some fruit, pecans, cinnamon and a drizzle of maple syrup and it's awesome.

It tastes great when made right. And horrible when made wrong.
For both. But oatmeal can
Taste like garbage if cooked wrong or like heaven if cooked right
when I add milk it makes a very creamy oatmeal and any flavour I add to it just taste better but when I use water I get mushy oatmeal
yea must have the milk , you doing it right nothing more to it . stay good .
I use milk to cook my oatmeal - it's perfect 😋
Me too mate. Today was my first try
Butter brown sugar with wheat toast
What about Steel Cut Oats? 45 min watching it boil over on low heat, HATE IT
Old fashioned oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, peanut butter, bananas, and whole milk.
shoutouts to simpleflips
I just burnt a pot of it a while ago
I tried to reheat it .....
Taste like sappy bitter chicken.
*Tip: soak the pot overnight to make cleaning easier*
Steel cut oats are the healthiest ❣
Add ketchup.......has sweetness, salt, adds colour and texture.......
I like to eat my oats raw.
Sometimes i mix in some water and berries.
Hopefully eating it raw is okay now im worried.
#1 : taste. #2 : taste. #3 : soaking overnight? nobody does this. #4 : taste. #5 : taste. #6 : burned oatmeal? nobody does this. #7 : add salt? nobody does this. Again, taste, #8 : Stirring? Everyone already does this. #9 : taste.
Oatmeal is perfect for the poverty stricken
It forces a heavy hand of healthiness
If I can eat some oats I will be a super man
What u think mistake not other peoples think go ahead the way what u like
I don't like my oatmeal cooked to death, if I wanted mushy oatmeal, I'd use the instant stuff.
I also don't care for oatmeal where someone has thrown in the whole fruit bar, I like mine more on the simple side.
as a poor newly graduated worker
I just want a filling breakfast xD
I like overcooked oatmeal though
